This story feels like a postcard from the modern friendship economy. A 27-year-old woman says yes to being maid of honor and ends up dropped from the wedding guest list after admitting she cannot afford a luxury bachelorette trip in Tulum. The trip was five nights long with a private chef, a villa, and themed outfits. It cost over two thousand dollars per person before flights. When she tried to compromise by attending part of the trip, her best friend replaced patience with a polite cut-off.
